The Ealing Cricketer

Some cricket was played, some cricket was discussed. Leigh turns up late and drunk, soon proving why podcasting at 11pm on a Saturday is not always the best idea. Mungo tries and fails to stop a party at the ECC, and one of the teams manages to win on 'expected wickets'.

A Robbie White century sees the 1s back in form this week as the 2s fall to local rivals despite captain Glas taking a 5-fer. The 3s have No Comment, and the Ladies make easy work of Sunday runs. A late pod, but never fear - the Ealing Cricketer is here.

A long hot weekend has the Ealing Cricketer up to all hours of Saturday night. The Lord returns to Corfton Road, Joyti smashes his 1s debut, Ladies captain Lizzie makes a season prediction and an AJ special Double Word of the Week.

Tom Shaw finally sees it clearly this week at the ECC as the 1s’ double header of a weekend is a nail biter with junior Seb Morgan stepping up to the wicket. Alex Fell has long socks and makes short work of Sha-Bu and AJ pays absolutely no attention to any cricket whatsoever.

Leigh is off this week so Mungo steers the ship on his own, catching up with some of the guys on a disappointing weekend for the Club. The 3s once again buoy the gang with another impressive win; for the second week in a row there's some poetry...and Mungo has his revenge, not to be missed.

What a weekend for the ECC. The 1s beat major rivals Teddington at home and the 3s literally hit it out of the park at North London. Sadly the Glasper Flick fails to get the 2s across the line, but AJ is climbing trees and has discovered toilet humour. It’s all happening on the ECC podcast.

All bets are on for the Ealing Cricketer this week, as there is finally some cricket able to be played. A strong performance from teams across the weekend sees Leigh and Mungo chatting to poorly-prepped but on-form Stowy, new Ladies Overseas Holls, and a few more special guests. In addition, a massive congratulations from all at Podcast HQ to Scott and Kelly who welcomed ECC's future opening bowler to their team.

1 game, 1 trophy, 1 trip to Denmark - what a start to the season. Leigh and Mungo fly by Billund on their way to Richmond CC and hear from some of the key players in Ealing’s first victory. No-one counts net wickets but Kristian Martin was the most out LBW of all time, Scott Ensom is permanent class, and new Aussie Nic falls victim to the Ealing injury curse.

The boys are back, and it's very much a preseason feel to this episode. We hear from one of the groundsmen, one of the new overseas players and our new head of women's cricket.

In episode 2, Mungo and Leigh check in with AJ, review the listener feedback they received, and chat to someone very special - some bloke in Barbados called Harry Podmore.
